Facial aesthetics

As we get older, our skin starts to show signs of ageing. It’s an inevitable part of life and can be quite a knock to your confidence when you start to notice deep lines appear around your upper face, outer corners of your eyes and mouth. These wrinkles arise as a result of your skin losing collagen and elastin, the key components in the chemical make-up of your skin that are responsible for its volume and elasticity.

Our qualified clinicians have a range of facial aesthetic treatments that can help combat these wrinkles. Whether you wish to smooth away noticeable lines that appear when you laugh, frown or smile, or those stubborn lines that are always on view, we can offer treatments that will help soften and eliminate these.

What treatments are available?

Dermal fillers

Using dermal fillers, we can replenish lost volume and smooth noticeable lines. Fillers work through stimulating cellular reproduction and giving skin a new lease of life.

Anti-wrinkle injections

Our qualified facial aesthetics clinician can prescribe anti-wrinkle injections. This treatment targets muscles under the skin to stop wrinkles and lines that appear through muscle movement in the face. Results can be seen within 2 weeks of treatment. With anti-wrinkle treatment, as with most things in life, prevention is better than cure. If, however, lines are already present these can be reduced with natural results. The effect of your treatment will fade over time and will need to be repeated at regular intervals to maintain the smoother appearance.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

PRP therapy, which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy, is a growing trend in regenerative medicine which involves injecting a concentration of platelets, found in your blood, back into your skin. These platelets are packed with growth factors that can help stimulate cell repair and renewal, potentially improving wrinkles, fine lines, and even hair loss.
